    We had the prosciutto plate that comes with an abundance of lightly dressed arugula and shaved Parmesan, very good. The pizza is also very good. We sat outside this evening because the music inside was a little bit too loud for us. Very nice evening, despite a rain shower but we were well covered and never got wet. Excellent service, I recommend this place.

    Food is excellent. Service also. A bit too noisy by 6:30. Difficult to hear your table mates

    Wonderful quick pre-concert meal at Napolese. Many gluten-free options - including pizza, goat cheese app and other fare. Very enjoyable experience.

    Unfortunately, service was poor. Reservation at 530. Still didn’t have food by 630, had to cancel pizza to make it to 7pm show in time.

    Hi Nicole- We are so disappointed to hear about your latest experience with us at Napolese. Regardless of the time constraint you were under, the wait for your pizza was not acceptable nor up to our standards of service and for that we apologize. We are addressing this with our team ASAP. If you could please call the restaurant, we would love the opportunity to make this right with you!

    First time at Napolese. Service was really good and very attentive. The meatball appetizer and chopped salad are good enough for a return visit. We were a bit disappointed in the wine list selections and it was a bit more expensive than other similar restaurants. Our pizza was good but I would say Diavola's is the best in that general location. We were in the wine bar and it was quite loud at times with over excited guests trying to speak above the noise. However, that would not be a reason that we would stay away from Napolese.
